Dang Headlight Conversion

Just to start off I want to say I used the search function and didn't find what I was looking for. Well, I was thinking about doing the headlight conversion and I also need a new front bumper cover. The cover I have has some scrapes and is a little warped so I want to replace it but I figured "Hey, why not buy a 00-01 bumper cover and then not have to worry about cutting anything since I will have the right bumper." Only thing I was concerned about was that if I did the conversion without changing to 00-01 corner lights would there be a gap or fitment issues with the cover and the old corner lights? Also, would the 00-01 bumper cover be a bolt on fit or would I have to do some modification?

Would I have to modify the fenders to make the 01 corners fit?

its a direct bolt on, jus that now you gotta get the gen 4.5 corners and rewire your headlight harness you adapt to the gen 4.5 headlight...pretty costly unless you know how to do it

Its not too bad for me considering I'm pulling in a decent ammount each week. I can do the rewiring myself along with modifiying the radiator support.
